Size Still Matters.In a world where technology grows smaller and smaller, some things are still better large. Like imaging sensors and lenses, for instance. And while some claim that smaller lenses, smaller sensors, and smaller camera systems can produce the same image quality as larger Medium Format DSLRs, there is a reason why 35mm manufacturers continue to claim that their systems can produce “Medium Format quality”.

Simply put, digital photography has made the advantages of Medium Format DSLRs even more obvious. And now with the launch of the H4D-40, Hasselblad is bringing these advan-tages – larger lenses and sensor size, more advanced optics, increased resolution and clarity, and more – within reach of a whole new generation of photographers.

Providing all the benefits of the renowned Hasselblad system, the H4D-40, with the new True Focus technology, should be an essential part of any serious photographer’s arsenal, bringing the world’s highest image quality to any application where “good enough” simply doesn’t get it.

Page 3: Hasselblad H System

If your camera system has features that a Hasselblad doesn’t, then you’ve sacrificed image quality to get them. Let’s get one thing straight – the Hasselblad H4D-40 is not a “one size fits all” photo grap-hic solution. The H4D-40, like all Hasselblad products for the past half a century or so, has been designed with an uncompromis-ing approach to image quality.

That means that if achieving mar-ginally higher shutter speeds means compromising on image quality – we don’t do it. If building our cameras from lighter, cheaper materials means compromising on image quality – we don’t do it. If get-ting a slightly higher ISO means compromising on image quality – well, you get the point.

Uncompromising Image Quality You are most likely aware of the dramatic developments in the 35mm DSLR world that have taken place in recent years. What you may not be aware of is the fact that Medium Format DSLRs have evolved equally dramatically, maintaining – and even in some cases increasing – the quality gap that has always existed between small format and larger for-mat systems. Today, more than ever, a Hasselblad DSLR is a crucial component in any serious photographic arsenal, providing the perfect tool for any applica-tion where image quality is important and giving you a level of image quality that 35mm systems cannot deliver.

Not Just Bigger, But Better The natural choice for any application where image quality is important, the H4D-40 provides the platform for the ultimate in creative expression and delivers images that will satisfy even the most demanding customer.

The H4D-40 features a 33 × 44 mm CCD sensor with 40 million pixels, pro-viding almost twice the capture area of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors. These 40 million pixels provide the perfect land-ing site for the large light path delivered by the high performance HC/HCD lens line, capturing more detail and clarity and delivering perfect color rendering without gradation break-ups in even the finest lit surfaces and cleaner images even at long exposures. This interaction between large scale sensor and lenses forms the foundation for a multitude of image quality enhancements.

What You See is Really What You Get - Hasselblad’s Natural Color Solution Unlike most competeing solutions, Hasselblad’s Natural Color Solution (HNCS) gives you outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box colors, with correct natural skin tones, specific product colors and other difficult tones reproduced easily and effectively, with no need for special color profiles or templates.

The largest sensors in the world don’t provide much advantage without optics that are advanced enough to deal with the resolu-tion provided. Hasselblad Medium Format DSLRs combine the market’s largest sensors with the market’s highest quality, lenses for con sistent superior quality.

If there is no difference between 35mm DSLRs and Medium Format DSLRs, then why do so many of the world’s leading photographers still choose to invest in a Hasselblad system?

A New Approach to Close-Up Focusing - True Focus and Absolute Position Lock

True Focus helps solve one of the most lingering chal-lenges in the photographic world: achieving true, accu-rate focusing throughout the image. Without multi-point auto-focus a typical AF camera can only correctly focus on a subject that is in the center of the image. If you want to focus on a subject outside the center, you must first lock focus on the subject and then re-compose the image. At short distances this re-composing causes focus error, as the plane of focus follows the camera’s move-ment, perpendicular to the axis of the lens.

The traditional solution for most DSLR cameras has been to equip the camera with a multi-point AF sensor which allows the photographer to fix an off-center focus point. Such multi-point AF solutions are often tedious and inflexible to work with and due to the physics of SLR cam-eras, the off-center focus points are all clustered relatively close to the image center. To set focus outside of this center area, you are still forced to focus first, then shift the camera to reframe, with resulting loss of focus as a result.

To overcome this problem, Hasselblad has used modern yaw rate sensor technology to measure angular velocity in an innovative way. The result is the new Absolute Position Lock (APL) processor, which forms the foundation of our new True Focus feature. The APL processor accurately logs camera move-ment during any re-composing, then uses these exact measure-

ments to calculate the necessary focus adjustment, and issues the proper com-mands to the lens’s focus motor so it can compensate. The APL processor computes the advanced positional algorithms and car-ries out the required focus corrections at such rapid speed that no shutter lag occurs. The H4D’s firmware then further refines the focus using the precise data retrieval system found on all HC/HCD lenses.

Even More Accurate Focusing for Photo ProsThe H4D-40 provides noticeably shallower depth-of-field performance compared to 35mm DSLRs at same aperture. This pro-vides for more accurate composing and focusing, especially when combined with the new True Focus technology. The H4D-40 also provides photographers with two basic tilt and shift options - a classic view camera solution and the simple-to-use, portable HTS tilt/shift adapter.

Intelligent Tilt and ShiftAs if the H4D’s ability to communicate with all Hasselblad lenses and accessories was not enough, when you add the Hasselblad HTS 1.5 tilt/shift adaptor, your system’s IQ goes up another few points. Precise sensors on all the HTS’s moving parts conti nually communicate with the camera engine, ensur-

ing that all shots are tagged with the information needed by the DAC function to refine your Tilt and Shift images when they are processed, ensuring maximum creative flexibility and uncompromising image quality even at the very edge of the image field when shifted, rotated and tilted to maximum. The HTS 1.5 gives you a port-able tilt/shift solution for the HC/HCD lens range from 28mm to 100mm, in effect providing a tilt and shift lens solu-tion at each focal length.

The large format of the H System cameras provides considerably shallower depth of field than 35mm DSLR cameras, making it much easier to utilize selective focus to creative effect.

In addition, True Focus further refines close range Auto-Focus for extremely accurate re-composing at close distance. You can now feel safe when working creatively with shallow depth-of-field.

HASSELBLAD DSLR ADvANTAGE: FOCUSING AND COMPOSING

Page 5: Hasselblad H System

Modularity = FreedomThe primary reason that photogra-phers choose to invest in and shoot with a Hasselblad system is really quite simple – it’s the amazing qual-ity of the images that they get when shooting with our products.There are a range of other reasons, however, that make a Hasselblad system indispensable to so many photographers around the world. These features, like the legendary Hasselblad craftsmanship and design, the modularity of the system and accessories, or the choice of large, bright viewfinders, provide things in addition to image quality. Things like creative freedom, professional flex-ibility, or simple peace of mind. Things that help you take your photography further.

viewing FreedomWith a Hasselblad system you get a modular system that allows you to customize or alter your gear set-up to suit your particular shooting style or needs. You can easily detach your digital capture unit for cleaning, for instance, or attach your H4D-40 to a view camera for advanced studio work. You can also choose between an eye-level or waist-level viewfinder, enabling you to see your subject the way you wish and widening your crea-tive possibilities.

A Bright and Personal view – Choose Your viewfinders One of the important traditional advantages of the medium format is the extra-large and bright viewfinder image, enabling extremely precise composition and easy operation in dim lighting. The H4D-40’s HVD 90x

viewfinder provides just that, having been designed to provide full per-formance over the large sensor area. Or you can choose to shoot with the HVM waist-level viewfinder, which also provides a bright and large viewfinder image, ideal for creative composing. This choice of viewfinders enables you to shoot in the fashion that suits you or the shoot the most; maintaining eye contact with the model, or gaining impact by shooting from a lower per-spective, for example.

Choose your way of viewing your subject and tailor your shooting style to suit the job at hand with your choice of both eye level and waist level viewfinders, all featuring the market’s brightest, clearest viewing screens.

Page 6: Hasselblad H System

Easy to Use – Difficult to Beat One of the most common myths regarding Medium Format systems is that they are difficult to learn and hard to use. In fact, Hasselblad DSLRs are no more difficult to use than high-end 35 systems.

Both our software and hardware are surprisingly easy to use; many pho-tographers even claim that Hasselblad gear is simpler and easier to use than 35mm set-ups.

Customized Profiles and Easy Interface The H4D-40 provides quick and easy setup for specific shooting styles using default or personal profiles. A single button press lets you load your preferred profile and the H4D-40 will be setup for action, with AF-mode, aperture/exposure time, user button configuration, etc predefined accord-ing to your preferences. The entire user interface can be easily controlled from both camera wheels or menus, according to preference.

IAA for Quick and Easy Classification Our IAA feature provides an enhanced set of feedback tools that help you focus on the shoot rather than the selection process. Classification stats are recorded both in the file and in the file name, providing a quick and easy way to classify and select images, in the field or back at the studio

If you can’t find it – build it: Hasselblad 3FR Several of our unique image improve-ment features would not be possible at all without our proprietary raw file format, the Hasselblad 3F RAW (3FR). This file format includes loss-less image compression, which reduces the storage space required by 33%. 3FR files are processed by Hasselblad’s Phocus software to deliver the ultimate Hasselblad image quality.

The 3FR files are also open for direct entry into an Apple or Adobe imaging environment.

The greatest of images starts as light.When we first designed our HC/HCD lens line we set specifications and performance standards high – extremely high, in fact. Our aim was not just to deliver a unique line of fast, motor driven, central lens AF-lenses with manual focus override, but to create the finest lens line in the world.

Now, four generations of H Cameras later, the HC/HCD line is just that – the finest lens line in the world, outperforming even the best of our legendary Carl Zeiss icons and setting a new standard for pro-fessional lens performance. The Hasselblad HC/HCD lens line includes 11 AF lenses, ranging from 28mm to 300mm, all with central lens shutters, all with manual focus override.

Stability and Creativity – Hasselblad Central Lens ShuttersThe integral central lens shutters in every Hasselblad lens reduce camera vibration, resulting in a more stabile platform and improved digital image quality, and allow flash sync at all shutter speeds up to 1/800s, opening the door to many crea-tive shooting solutions that are otherwise impossible.

Buy the Future – Get the Past for Free: the CF adapterThe Hasselblad HC/HCD lens line out-performs even our legendary V System Carl Zeiss lenses, but why choose? With the CF adapter you can use any CF-lens on your H System camera, with full use of the central shutters, allowing flash to be employed at shutter speeds up to 1/500s. Watch out for imitators claiming to offer CF-lens support based upon a mere mechanical mount – such products do not support central lens shutters.

DAC – There’s No Such Thing as Perfect – But That Doesn’t Stop Us from Trying Physical optical design and engineering can only go so far to correct the small imperfections that all optics – even the most advanced ones – contain. In our pursuit of the ultimate image quality, how-ever, Hasselblad has developed a special application that corrects even the small-est of imperfections. This special lens correction system (DAC) uses data from our advanced intra-system communica-tion to ultra-fine-tune each image, ensur-ing that color aberration, distortion, and vignetting are removed automatically and seamlessly with all HC/HCD lenses. DAC even refines images shot with the Carl Zeiss C/F/CF-lens line, based upon manu-al input of the necessary parameters.

Ultra-Focus The H4D-40 camera also allows informa-tion from the lens and exact capture con-ditions to be fed to the camera processor for ultra-fine-tuning of the AF mechanism, taking into account the lens design and the sensor specifications and resulting in an entirely new level of sharpness and resolution
